My cousin Shobi did this . Thanks a million cousin :))))
Can our desires ( together with our sweat ) override the notion of impossibility ? . I strongly believe so . Remember this point from Adam Khoo , one of Singapore's most successful entrepreneur and the author of " I am gifted or are you " ? . He said " aiming to score an A grade even if you are scoring Cs or Ds isn't impossible . It is still realistic . What is considered as being unrealistic is the fact that you do every possible thing to make your marker more lenient " . Frankly he managed to clearly bring out a good point . The message is , never restrict yourself . Always aim high . It's all about breaking the barrier known as "realism" . If you want to be more than just a normal achiever , please think like a genius . Geniuses always dream big and never let "realism" falter their undying spirit .
Ok . Moving on , I read an article on the Newpaper today . The headline read : " Rejected by five top US colleges , so ... NUS undergrad posts his maths lecture on YouTube " . It was really inspiring . After that , I checked out Donovan's website namely http://www.gaussianmath.com/ . Please do check it out too . I liked his 09.08.07 blog entry . The title is " I'm far behind " . It really shows that there a lot of smarter students out there . The world is becoming an increasingly competitive one . We have to really find that niche to outplay / outlast our competitors .
Gosh , now that reminds me . If you really want to be special - as in to have that " special trait " - something that distinguish you from the others , you really need to work it out real soon . The world is changing every second . Scary yet true . We need to excel real well . No use in being a mediocre student . Mediocre people live an average boring life . We need to break that "mediocre" barrier and scale to greater heights . It's all about expanding that horizon . Living life to the fullest , gaining that satisfaction , fulfilling God's plans and then we can die with no regrets .
Donovan also said that he finally realised why he wasn't selected into the Ivy league schools . Those schools apparently require their students to distinguish themselves through CCAs or other related stuff . I believe that they look into an all-rounded education system whereby you get good grades as well as indulge in something that can benefit the society at large . Anyway , having an all-rounded education is a good thing too .
Anyways , after reading that article and his website , I feel really stupid . I am very bad at maths . I just can't find that drive to do maths . But I LOVE doing Economics . But sadly , I cannot major in Economics in the University . Economics in Universities require students to do calculus . Honestly , I'll die ! I'll give up half way if I happen to see any economic graph with relation to maths . Haha . Gosh . Anyways , I am aiming to secure good grades before thinking of the courses .
Ok Check out Donovan's videos at youtube . I'll post one on Fluid Mechanics - Pressure Field Compressible Fluid .
Phew . Anyways , I need to start studying for the upcoming Common Test . I'm yet to study . Damn . Woo thank God Mr Thomas didn't include the costing topic into the common test . I would've died . Management of Business is getting tough . Economics - I've got A LOT to study now . Since I'm in the top class , the pressure is quite overwhelming . Really . I wish I can be in some other class . We are like expected to know everything about every topic . Mrs Mary Choy also breezes through the "supposedly easy topics for the A students " concepts and discusses a lot on higher thinking order questions . It's quite demanding . I'm quite pressured . You should see my face after every Economics class . Haha . Damn stressful . Nevermind , it'll be over in the next 9 months . I can do it . Just 9 months of stress , pressure and whatnot . Argh ! . But then again , you have to do well to break that "mediocre" barrier . So yea , less complains and more works . It's all about Expectations VS Results . " You reap what you sow " . So technically , I need to reap A LOT more than normal to REAP more .
I've got to transform into a resilient and hardworking Vitz - to someone who is highly disciplined enough to avoid procrastinating . ( Oh God )
